Steve & Sharon Entwistle

Who They Are:

Steve and Sharon grew up as "Missionary Kids" in Africa, where they met at boarding school in Kenya. After getting married, God led them to minister for 10 years in Mozambique among the Mwani People Group. Since then, God has placed them on an interesting journey, which included three years as teachers, coach, and dorm parents back at the same school where they fell in love: Rift Valley Academy. Steve and Sharon have three great kids: Micah, Krista, and Josiah.

What They Are Doing Now:

Beginning in September 2015, the Entwistle family moved to the Central African Republic(CAR). This came after years of praying and waiting. God has led Steve and Sharon to minister among the unreached Mbororo People Group. The Mbororo are semi-nomadic, cattle herdsmen who practice another faith. The hope is to reach out to them in practical ways so as to create bridges for sharing God's love. The other people group in the same area--the Zande--already have a church. However, due to superstitions and witchcraft, the Zande church is not as strong nor as missional as it should be.

In August 2016, the CAR TEAM members (3 families & 2 single ladies) will arrive to partner with Steve and Sharon who have already begun the process of repairing some old houses and building new homes to house the CAR TEAM members. There is a lot to be done! A "teams construction and preparation coordinator" remains on the ground in CAR to continue the building while we as a family return to the USA (December 2015 - July 17, 2016) for a much needed home assignment. After three and a half years on the field, they are looking forward to visiting our families and our churches to share what God has been doing through their care and support. As a family, they return to CAR in July 2016 to finish the final preparations...and welcome the team with the goal of seeing the Mbororo reached with the gospel... and to see a healthier Zande church very involved in the whole endeavor...LORD WILLING!
